CEMaterial close-up
Cotton canvas, 12 oz
Firm, dry hand with a visible weave. Softens after the first fold and holds a crease rather than springing back.
| Best for | Tote bags, drawstring pouches and flat panels up to 400 mm wide. Takes screen print and embroidery; deboss leaves almost nothing on canvas. |
|---|---|
| Limits | Water marks show on undyed canvas and do not lift cleanly. Print coverage over the weave is never solid at thin strokes, and colour is matched on the physical sample. |
The working canvas for tote bags: 12 oz holds a shape when the bag is standing, prints cleanly, and does not need a lining to look finished.
